The wrestlers had a great season. Three wrestlers placed at TVC on Friday 12/10. Kori Dwenger 3rd, Javen Gomez 3rd, & Steven Katzenberger 3rd. Ninety percent of our wrestlers had wins and all wrestlers have never wrestled until this season. I'm so proud of my wrestlers and they told me they will wrestle next year.
